These photographs illustrate the dens build by children aged 10-11. They worked with an artist to respond to the scenario of a flood
where they would have to evacuate their homes and construct temporary shelters with found items.
They had to deconstruct these dens at the end of two days and they made dream catchers to leave on site to mark where they had been.
